Republicsn crooks are trying to fuck up your vote. Mail your ballot EARLY, or better yet, take it to the post office and make sure it’s postmarked.
Bolts@boltsmag.org · 2d agoMany states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.

Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social · 5d agoICE's shameless stupid cruelty continues unabated. Here's a truly wrenching account from our wonderful local Vermont newspaper, which I imagine could be multiplied a thousandfold every day across America. Many thanks to Liza Cochran, its author bravelittlevoices.substack.com/p/terror-in-...
Louise Erdrich is so good, it’s easy to take for granted how good she is. By which I mean great, of course.

NYU Langone added to the long list of cowards who decided denying children healthcare was preferable to opposing a fascist administration (in court cases they would probably have won). It’s such a long list by now. So many betrayals. Fuck them all.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 3w agoNYU Langone is paying the government $8.5 million in addition to ceasing gender-affirming care for minors. Cowardly loser shit.
Love this! Already looking forward to seeing a season four of The Terror based on Alma’s wonderful novel.
Alma Katsu (INCARNATE is out now!)@almakatsu.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's official: THE HUNGER is optioned to AMC & Ridley Scott, possibly for an upcoming season of The Terror. Hopefully we'll see an official announcement soon, but I couldn't wait
Heads up! One week until THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER is available to one and all. (Or most, anyway.) Chris Cantwell, Karyn Kusama, an astounding cast led by the great Dan Stevens…and me. Hell of a team. Some horror and some hope, that’s what we are gonna give to you starting 9/20 on AMC.
Chris Cantwell@ifyoucantwell.bsky.social · 4w agoThis premieres in one week. One week. Give yourself a Halloween treat, one with a great cast of characters based on the iconic vision of one @victorlavalle.bsky.social. And… ultimately… something a note of tentative hope in these tough times.
The 15 year-old and I seated for this one. The Wailing is an all-time favorite movie for both of us & @matjohnson.bsky.social already told me he loved it, so we are amped.
I don't care what our deranged president says about Canada, as the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we Americans will always remember how our good friends to the north gave diverted US flights a place to land and the hospitality they showed to the stranded passengers. We will never forget.
